What if a robot could handle cleaning, serving and even complex tasks around your home or workplace? That's exactly what X Square Robot hopes to deliver with its latest launch.

The company just introduced Quanta X2, a highly advanced robotic butler designed for dexterity and versatility. Alongside the robot, it unveiled Wall-OSS, an open-source artificial intelligence (AI) model meant to power robots that can adapt to unpredictable real-world tasks.

These big reveals come with a major funding boost of around $100 million in Series A+ backing led by Alibaba Cloud, with participation from HongShan, INCE Capital, Meituan, Legend Star and Legend Capital.

HUMANOID ROBOTS HANDLE QUALITY CHECKS AND ASSEMBLY AT AUTO PLANT

Quanta X2 isn't your typical robot. Standing at about 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 210 pounds, it features 62 degrees of freedom for smooth, lifelike motion. Its seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm is paired with dexterous hands that can sense pressure changes and perform delicate movements.

The robot can grip, clean or even express emotions through gestures. A modular clamp system lets it attach brushes or mop heads for 360-degree cleaning. With an arm reach of 30 inches, a payload capacity of about 13 pounds and fine precision down to 0.001 inches, Quanta X2 is designed to work in both home and industrial settings.

Alongside Quanta X2, X Square Robot introduced Wall-OSS, a new open-source embodied AI model. Trained on vision-language-action data, it helps robots "think" and act more like humans when faced with unpredictable tasks.

Unlike task-specific systems that fail outside narrow scenarios, Wall-OSS generalizes across multiple robot types. It also solves key challenges such as catastrophic forgetting and syncing vision, language and action. By reasoning, planning and executing seamlessly, robots powered by Wall-OSS can move from the lab into the messy real world.

Developers will be able to access Wall-OSS on GitHub and Hugging Face, building community-driven datasets to accelerate adoption.

By open-sourcing Wall-OSS, X Square Robot is inviting developers everywhere to help build the next generation of robots. That collaboration could accelerate the day when robotic assistants become as commonplace as smartphones.
